Rick, fresh out of engineering school, went to a interview for a good
paying job. The company boss asked him various questions about him and
his education, but then asked him, "What is three times seven?"
"22," Rick replied. After he left, he double-checked it on his
calculator (he *knew* he should have taken it to the interview!) and
realized he wouldn't get the job.
About two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was hired for
the job! Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but he was very curious.
The next day, he went in and asked why he got the job, even though he
got such a simple question wrong.
The boss shrugged and said, "Well, you were the closest."
